See Belfast, Giant’s Causeway, Derry, Galway, the Cliffs of Moher, Dingle, Killarney, and Blarney Castle in six busy days.

“This trip was so wonderful. I highly recommend doing the full 6 days. It’s so worth it and having seen some of the other people doing only one day or two, they really missed out. Our driver and guide was Danny, he is very knowledgeable and so personable. He gave us genuine suggestions on what to see and do in areas and places to avoid. It was truly a stress free way to experience Ireland. Only set back is the meeting place for your initial pickup is not marked, so just look for the big green bus and you’ll have a great time!!!”

2.Best of Ireland 6-Day Backpackers Economy Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 37 reviews · 6 days · from $1,058

Review of Paddywagon’s 6-day Ireland backpackers tour, covering Belfast, Galway, Kerry, Blarney Castle, Dublin, and the Giant’s Causeway.

“I’m glad they had a backpacker option so that I could afford to do this as a student traveling solo! Gordon, our driver, literally knew everything and everyone - he introduced us to lots of locals and gave great recommendations and even hung out with us at the pub in the evenings. (The Celtic Steps show in Killarney and the Black Taxi Tour in Belfast were especially great experiences). The transit experience was great: we had a small coach and a small group (about 15) and the coach had wifi. The accommodations (except the first night) were also very nice - backpackers even got a private room in Annascaul. Breakfast…”

3.6-day All Ireland & Northern Ireland Rail Tour from Dublin

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 37 reviews · 6 days (approx.) · from $2,662

Explore Ireland by rail and coach on a six-day tour from Dublin, with Blarney, Kerry, Galway, Connemara, Aran Islands, and Belfast.

“Covered a great deal of Ireland with knowledgeable guides. The bus drivers and tour guides were very good as a whole. Railtours Ireland is run by a number of well meaning 70 and 80 year old retired gentleman who need to retire themselves or bring in some younger and female guides. They need to watch their hopefully unintentional sexist and racist comments. This is not a first class tour company as their motto says. As opposed to first class rail and bus tours we were continually shepherded onto buses with 50 or 60 people who were on other tours. The majority of travel is on large buses not trains. The…”

“I this the space in which I am to write the review. I loved the journey from the very moment it started. I was amazed by Malcomb our guide. He was so totally prepared to show us a marvelous time and was so well informed as well. Our bus was just the right size...I hate those big buses. He did change the order of the cities we visited...We started off in Cork, and according to the schedule I saw on the internet that was to be our last stop. Nevertheless...the entire journey was a blessing, and I am ready to return to Ireland,,,We had terrific weather...no one could believe how…”

6.6-Day All of Ireland Rail Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 15 reviews · 6 days · from $2,353

Review of the 6-day Ireland rail tour from Dublin, with Killarney, Galway, Belfast, the Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands and practical advice.

“This was a great option for our first trip to Ireland. Our first Guide, Brendan, was wonderful. He knew all the history of the sites we were visiting & kept us well informed. Unfortunately, he was with us for only the first half. The second half was more chaotic. We had different guides & less information was given. Our bus on the way to the Aran Islands broke down & then was very late picking us back up again. We were very rushed around. Apparently, our new guide did not understand that there was only one couple in our group of 16 that were young. The rest of us could…”

7.6-Day Tour of Southern Ireland from Dublin

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 11 reviews · from $997Best value

Review this six-day Ireland tour from Dublin, covering Glendalough, Kilkenny, Blarney, Kerry, Moher, and Galway for $997.

“The itinerary was not followed. They zig zagged across the country instead of a logical path around like the itinerary stated it would be. This made it so you only had 15 minutes at some destinations. We spent more time at gas stations than at some of our planned destinations. We spent more time on the bus doing it this way as well. The guide was rude when you would ask a question and talked bad about previous people who had done the tour. The guide stated that they made the reservations for hotels everyday and that would determine where we ended up based on what was available that day.…”
